Clavicular, a 20-year-old social media influencer known for 'looksmaxxing' content, was arrested in Scottsdale, Arizona, after police determined he was using a forged ID to enter a nightclub and found him in possession of two prescription-only pills.

Why it matters

The case highlights how social media personalities can face legal consequences when their public stunts intersect with illegal activities, especially underage entry into age-restricted venues. The recommended felony charges suggest prosecutors may treat the possession of prescription drugs and the forged ID as serious offenses, potentially setting a precedent for similar cases involving influencers.

The details

On Saturday night, officers observed Clavicular, whose real name is Braden Peters, entering Casa Amigos nightclub accompanied by a camera person and a bodyguard. Scottsdale Police coordinated with nightclub security to remove him from the venue. After being handcuffed, police discovered a forged ID and two prescription-only pills on his person.

  • On Saturday night, officers observed Clavicular entering the nightclub just before 11:20 p.m.
  • Clavicular appeared before a judge on Sunday and posted a $25,000 bond.
